We’ve taken some time away from the regular online channels to focus on writing, learning and developing new technologies, and enjoying life itself. Ten days after deactivating my Facebook, I let everybody know I will soon be deleting it, and much of my other, so-called, social media. I’m putting together a lengthy Medium article about the marriage of Big Tech and US...

Sunset in Zielonki, as painted by Czupur the cat We return to a “normal” rhythm here at DigitalNomad.Blog. My new workmates think I am extraordinary Like one of those things pretty much everybody else in most of the world has: A home, a routine, abundant cuddles. Travel has slowed down.

Bridge on the Vistula River, Warsaw. Photo by Magdalena Dziewic On my third visit to Poland’s capital, I enjoyed a terrific weekend in Warsaw. My first time was a simple rush from north to south of the city on the Metro, transferring cross-country buses.
